Both pop stars are no strangers to showing skin in creative ways. But at the amfAR gala in L.A., the singers (who both wore Tom Ford) took their NSFW-styles to a whole new naked level.

Her song may be called "Booty," but J.Lo was all about the front view in her crisscross, abs-baring pink Reem Acra halter dress, which she set off with slicked-back hair, sparkling Louboutins and her signature golden glow at the American Music Awards.

We tend to associate Kate with expertly layered street style, which is why this one-sleeved Alexandre Vauthier Couture gown (worn to the Hammer Museum Gala) was such a showstopper. Well, that, and the incredibly daring back view.

The reality star wears lots of things that get our style team talking. But this practically topless look she flaunted during Paris Fashion Week literally left us speechless.

When other stars have cornered the market on cleavage, low backs and slits, how do you make your skin-baring style stand out? By doing as Emma did and choosing shoulder-exposing designs. (That's not to say that Emma doesn't also show torso, back and leg in her Saint Laurent design. It's good to cover all your bases.)

When the model got dressed for the Golden Globes after party in L.A., she couldn't decide if she should go with a backless number or wear a a hip-high side-slit gown. So she did what any indecisive girl would do: She wore this Emilio Pucci number which flaunted all of her assets.

For the MuchMusic Awars in Toronto, Kendall brought lots of confidence to the red carpet in her crystal-embellished Fausto Puglisi gown. The one thing she clearly did not bring however, was undies.

The Brazilian stunner wore the same sexy Balmain dress at the the Victoria's Secret show after-party in London that Kendall Jenner wore on the runway in Paris. Regardless of who you think wore it better, you definitely have to be a model to pull it off.

High slit? Check. Plunging neckline? Check. Daringly dipped back? Check. In her racy red Donna Karan Atelier number at the MTV Movie Awards, Rita definitely made a statement, and that statement was "I woke up like this. No literally. This is my sexiest nightie."
